When you select a file (one that isn't already open) in the Open dialog and
click on the arrow beside the Open button, you're seeing Open and Repair
dimmed? I can't think why that would be. The only two options I see dimmed
are "Open in Browser" (presumably available only for .htm and other Web page
file types) and "Open with Transform" (no idea what that means--something to
do with XML and XSLTs--so presumably I don't need it).

When I open a large Word document with many tables, it tells me that
a
table
is corrupt and to convert it to text. However it doesn't tell me
which
one.
There are 100's! do I have to convert them all to text one at a time
save
and
reopen every time until I find the corrupted table?

I think that you are talking about excel, not word. I was wondering how to
do it in word by vba for some time now and would appreciate help:) |

Hi Kon,
The following code will delete all blank rows (except for those with vertically merged cells) in all tables in the active document:
Sub DelBlankRows()
Dim Pwd As String
Dim oRow As Integer
Dim oTable As Table
Dim pState As Boolean
With ActiveDocument
pState = False
If .ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
Pwd = InputBox("PleasePassword", "Password")
pState = True
.Unprotect Pwd
End If
If .Tables.Count > 0 Then
For Each oTable In .Tables
For oRow = oTable.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
If Len(Replace(oTable.Rows(oRow).Range.Text, Chr(13) & Chr(7), vbNullString)) = 0 Then
On Error Resume Next 'skip vertically merged cells
oTable.Rows(oRow).Delete
End If
Next oRow
Next oTable
End If
If pState = True Then .Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, Noreset:=True, Password:=Pwd
pState = False
Pwd = ""
End With
End Sub
If the document is protected for forms, you'll need to replace "Password" with the real password (if any)
Cheers

I'm trying to send a document with a table. Each time I open the document
the gridlines are showing. If I hide the gridlines and save the document,
the next time I open it the gridlines are displaying again. I tried an
AutoOpen macro hiding the gridlines but am not sure it will run when the
document is received

I use Paste Special to do this. When the selection dialog pops up, choose
Unformatted text. The prevailing target document style is applied to the
pasted text.

Jackie,
Tested it here, only have a problem when I cut from a table and paste in a
table with track changes on.
Which seems to be the opposite of what you are experiencing.
Normally I use the unformatted text option from the Paste Options button
when I move or copy text from one to the other.

Maybe you could help with another annoying thing happening in tables?
When I cut and paste from one table to another how do I force the
'imported'
text to retain the text formatting of the table it's being pasted into? At
the moment my new text is appearing in italics even though neither tables
are
formatted in italics. I've got track changes selected on the table I'm
cutting text from, if this is the cause.

Jackie D,
When you paste (in the empty paragraph beneath the table), there should
be a
tiny little button appearing called the paste options button. Click on it
and choose to keep the formatting of the original table. Then hit F4 as
many
times as you like till the page is full. Does this help?

Hi
I want to create a single column table that has a dotted border or line
on
every other row. I thought by copying and pasting a 'set' of two rows
(with a
dotted line followed by a solid line) I could simply fill an A4 sheet
with
this style. But copying and pasting just gives me two rows all with
full
borders. Can anyone help?

My question is, how do I prevent this problem? I only have ONE table with
text and some png images, but the table gets very large and becomes
corrupted. Does anyone know what causes this and how to prevent it?
It's frustrating to be working to a deadline and have this happen constantly.
